They have mold in theirs rooms an they are incredibly dirty! They will take your money falsely kick you out of your room then no apology then come a kick you out again after you paid for it just for them to tell you they are wrong once again! Then get upset when you ask for a free night stay bc of all their inconvenience then they will tell you that you are disrespectful for even asking( you’re just a disrespectful)
